Title based on contents of the file.
Ingells first met Nouwen in 1985 through the Boston College course he taught. She remembers that he had just left Harvard and seemed totally “worn out,” a “wreck.” Yet, although the class was 250 people it really didn’t seem impersonal at all.
She met Nouwen again a little later on through Parker Palmer, a friend of hers. They were all together at a Benedictine convent in Madison Wisconsin, and sat down for a meal together.
